I think it happens to a lot of bands / performers who stay around a long time. It's pretty hard to be "new and original" for 30 years. Who has done that, anyway? To a lot of people the music of Yes or The Police may have gotten stale after the first few albums. Other people who may be more...

Blowin' in the Wind is obviously an all time classic, but I really like a few other of Dylan's better.

for example,
The Times They Are A'Changin'
Rainy Day Women

War.....HUH!!

What is it good for?

That Dirty Sanchez you're sporting is almost on a par with !zzubevol's.
Hope you enjoyed getting it.

When I want something really quick to throw on some pasta I just take a decent "jar" sauce, rinse the jar with about 1/4 - 1/2 cup of red wine, add a little EVOO and a bunch of sliced 'shrooms, and simmer for about 10 or 15 min.

The New York Rock Ensemble This was a band in the late 60's early 70's that played some good tight straight up rock 'n roll, with some classical and jazz influences. The band was fronted by Michael Kamen, a Julliard student at the time, who went on to become one of the most "in-demand" com...

A lot of Santana's music could be described as mainly instrumental, as you say.

This is one of my favorites. Very instrumental and jazz fustion oriented. Song of the Wind is one of my all time favorite Santana cuts.

Mikey

Agreed. I got that one on vinyl when it first came out.

Mikey

Sounds like a cheap publicity stunt to me.

Is Houston his first name or his last name?
Or both?

You're really 34? I thought you were more like 20 something. It's OK though, I won't hold it against you. Me, I'm really old. Not like Luther or Wolfman old, but old enough so that I have about as much hair growing out my ears as I do on the top of my dome. Maybe I seem younger on the message board ...

Focus Live at the Rainbow...

thanks for the reminder.

Beautiful recording.

Didn't they do that yodeling thing?

I saw them open for Yes back in 72 or 73 when Yes was doing Close to the Edge. Yes was great. Focus was...sort of different.

Grateful Dead- the music is dull lets be honest. Deadheads were people who couldnt let the 60s go,and couldnt stop dropping acid. I could never get into them.

Wrong.

I haven't dropped acid in years.

One word - Aerosmith. God, somebody please put them out of their misery. They are like U2... had some great early music, then started sucking some ass later on. And as a general rule, any so-called artist who does not write their own music/lyrics or play an instrument is overrated. Those idiots pro...

Any grunge band. RF, I agree about Tom Petty, but I have to take some issue with what you say about Springsteen. If you look at Springsteen from a 2005 perspective, and maybe even from the early 90's, yes maybe he's overrated. But his first three albums, IMHO, were and remain rock 'n roll classics. ...

LOL, RF. The wife is really excited about this because we hardly ever get to go out without the kids, and also because the Minute By Minute album used to get played a lot when we were dating. Hopefully it will bring back some good romantic memories and we'll both get horny at the same time. IN any c...

Here's another one of my early favorites, which I used to have on vinyl. It somehow disappeared about 20 years ago, as did many of my albums I would later discover, when one of my old roommates moved out. The song "Compared to What" is an alltime classic. I may have to get it again on CD. ...

and Mikey gets it on one of my favorites The Crusaders. war Street Life w/Randy Crawford I'll have to admit, I don't have that album, although I must have about 8 or 10 Crusaders albums. One is a double live recording where they play with BB King. I do have this one on vinyl, which features Randy C...

I always thought Michael McDonald had one of the distinctive voices in popular music back when he was with the Doobies and doing backup on Steely Dan albums. I hear that his two recent CDs of Motown music are pretty good, although I don't have either. Any opinions? He's performing at the Pala Casino...

Nice list, RF. I'm not all that familiar with Luther Vandross' work, I'm not sure that I would consider him a jazz singer. I'm not buying as much music as I used to due to more drains on disposable income as a family patriarch, but here are a few that I have enjoyed and also have in my collection......

Stanford took a 51-25 lead over Oregon at halftime tonight and cruised to an 88-69 victory. Matt Haryasz led the Cardinal with 20 points and 20 rebounds . Haryasz had 13 boards in the first half and left the game with about 5 minutes left after grabbing his 20th. Both totals were career highs for th...

Stanford will be back in the CWS.

Arizona, ASU and Washington are legitimate potential top 10 teams.

After losing Pac10 Player of the Year Josh Childress to the NBA as well as two other starters and their long time coach Mike Montgomery, Stanford came out this season with a new coach and had to play their first 8 games on the road because Maples Pavillion's renovation wasn't finished yet.
